Shall We?

We received a certificate of appreciation from Wreaths Across America for our participation in the 2016 ceremony.

We actually exceeded our goal of how many wreaths we would place.  Everything went relatively smoothly (except for the weather) the day of the ceremony.  We will have to register  (has to be done each year) if we do the project again...plus we need some more help in the planning stages, etc.

We have not decided for sure to continue this project.  Please leave a comment with your opinion.
Thank you.

RESOLUTIONS....

Did you make New Years' Resolutions?  Are you keeping them? .  Since it has just been a week, thought this might be a helpful guide for the year...

                                        JUST FOR TODAY

JUST FOR TODAY, I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life's problems at once. I can do things for 12 hours that would appall me if I had to keep them up for a lifetime.

JUST FOR TODAY, I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour I will thank God, so as to get a better perspective on my life.

JUST FOR TODAY, I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. It will eliminate two pests—hurry and indecision.

JUST FOR TODAY, I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, be liberal with praise, criticize not one bit nor find fault with anything, and not try to improve or regulate anyone but myself.

JUST FOR TODAY, I will adjust myself to what is and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my luck as it comes and fit myself to it.

JUST FOR TODAY, I will strengthen my mind. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought, and concentration.

JUST FOR TODAY, I will be happy. As Abraham Lincoln said, “Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.” Happiness comes from within. It is not a matter of externals.

JUST FOR TODAY, I will exercise my soul in three ways.

     I will do something nice for someone and not be found out.

     I will do at least two things I don't want to do—just for exercise.

     I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt; they may be hurt, 
            but today I will not show it.

JUST FOR TODAY, I will be unafraid. I will enjoy what is beautiful and believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.

May your 2017 continue to be a wonderful year.

CANCELED!!!

Due to the weather (snow and cold), the January monthly luncheon at the Novelty Senior Center was canceled for the month.  

Our next luncheon will be February 2, 2017.  January birthdays will be celebrated then as well as any February birthdays that we might have.  

Hopefully weekly coffee times (Tuesdays--9:00-11:00 a.m.) will continue through the month, but those also are contingent upon the weather.  

Have a warm, safe January everyone!
